Why does this scrub feel warm, and is that heat safe for my skin?

The warming effect in this facial scrub is generated internally by the formula itself rather than from an external heat source. When the product comes into contact with damp skin, the ingredients react to create a mild heat sensation. This warmth is designed to help soften surface buildup and dead skin cells, making the mechanical exfoliation from the fine scrubbing particles more effective at lifting away residue. It also contributes to a feeling of thorough cleansing.

While this sensation is normal for this type of product, it indicates that the formula is active. It is not suitable for hypersensitive, very dry, or already irritated skin, as the combination of warming and exfoliating effects may feel too intense. If you experience strong discomfort or if redness persists longer than expected after rinsing, you should stop using the product immediately. Avoid applying it around the eyes or on any damaged areas of the skin.
